My research area is vaccine development. I have filed a patent for oral delivery
of vaccines using micro-sphere technology. I am also involved in studying the
immunology. So it is totally vaccine development. Currently I am working in the
Pneumonia infection. But my technology can be extended to all other vaccines.

Can I apply for both EB1-EA and NIW simultaneously. Is it necessary to have H1B
for applying for green card or can I apply with J1 visa itself. Thank you for
kindly give information.

Answer:

To
increase your chance to get the USCIS approval,
you can apply for both EB-1 EA and NIW at the some time. It is not required
to have H-1B visa to status to apply for Green Card GC.

If
your I-140 application is approved by USCIS, to adjust your status, you need to
have your J-1 waiver approval ready at that time for your I-485
application.
